	  <h2><a name="overview"></a>Overview</h2>

	  <p>Lua XML-RPC is a library to make remote procedure calls using
	    <a href="http://www.xmlrpc.com">XML-RPC</a>. It also offers facilities
	    to develop server-side software.</p>

	  <p>Lua XML-RPC provides a simple API and an abstraction layer over XML, 
	    thus avoiding the complexity of having to deal with strings that 
	    represent data structures.</p>

	  <p>Lua XML-RPC is free software and uses the same
	    <a href="license.html">license</a> as Lua 5.1.</p>

	  <h2><a name="status"></a>Status</h2>

	  <p>Current version is 1.2. It was developed for Lua 5.1 based on
	    <a href="http://www.keplerproject.org/luaexpat">LuaExpat</a>.</p>

	  <h2><a name="download"></a>Download</h2>

	  <p>Lua XML-RPC can be downloaded in source code from
	    <a href="http://github.com/timn/lua-xmlrpc">Github</a>.</p>
